Gospel Band Vis­its St. Paul Re­tire­ment Com­mu­nity

SOUTH BEND — On Sat­ur­day, Feb. 16, Bethel Col­lege’s gospel wor­ship lead­ers vis­ited St. Paul’s Re­tire­ment Com­mu­nity. Dur­ing the visit, the group used their voices and pi­ano skills to share mu­sic and joy with the res­i­dents. 

The res­i­dents re­ally ap­pre­ci­ated the visit.  

“Thank you for com­ing out here! You all have lovely voices and you re­ally lifted our spirts!” said a res­i­dent.  

“You all were so, so good,” said an­other.  

The team sang to a packed room where there were hardly any open seats. The res­i­dents heartily ap­plauded af­ter each song and many sang along. It was ev­i­dent that it meant a lot to the res­i­dents to have the stu­dents take time out of their day to share their gift of song with them.  

The group was com­prised of Bethel stu­dents of all grades in­clud­ing Kayla Rundquist, Jay Blakely, Mylia Scott, De­Carla Thomp­son, Wanise Lit­tle, Dim­itri Tay­lor, and Stephen White. The event was put to­gether by the Ser­vice Learn­ing Of­fice and it was led by Ken­neth Tate.
